You don't need a kindle, a kindle app is fine as I have tested it out before. thought I did use different programs but they were basically convert the book to epub.

how to get kobo to kindle?

@wyldphyre_ 5 месяцев назад

One clarification, and a tip. Firstly, some books can come from Amazon without DRM. TOR, for example, doesn’t put DRM on their books. As for making quicker/simpler, Calibre has some automation features. Somewhere in the setting you can specify a folder that it will auto import books from. Set that up and then if calibre is running and you put books files into that folder they will automatically be imported. There is also a setting in preferences to automatically convert books when importing With that automation in place the process of importing and converting becomes pretty painless, but you’ll still have to download the books individually

@chrisconnors7418 5 месяцев назад

This is excellent. I’ve used calibre and Apprentice Alf’s plugin since 2018 but I didn’t know about linking to a kindle device. I’ve just downloaded a kindle book on computer (using an old version of the kindle app because my plugin can’t remove drm from newer books or books downloaded on new app), then dragged and dropped those books into calibre. I’ll get things set up the way you’ve done it to see if it’ll remove the drm on the new books. I’ll be sure to get the same drm plugin you used. That’s a nice recliner, btwv

@chrisconnors7418 4 месяца назад

oh-oh. I just tried loading a third book and it says I don't have a compatible device registered for this content. My Kindle is an old one with the keyboard so I'll probably need a newer Kindle. Strange though. It didn't have any trouble with 2 books published in March but did with a book from February.

This was a really useful video! Thank you very much. You pushed me over the edge from my Kindle (I've been reading on a Kindle for 15 years or more) and into a new color Kobo reader. I'm assuming that with the DRM removed that you can highlight and take notes on books? I'm also assuming the Kobo has a dictionary function similar to my Kindle?? Again, thank you for the great video.

Great tutorial, thanks! Even if you bought the ebook, unfortunately the United States' DMCA makes it illegal to circumvent ANY form of copy protection (DRM) even for personal use. You can buy 100 copies of an eBook, but if you circumvent DRM on books you bought, it is illegal in the United States according to the DMCA. Even for only your own personal use.

@rosinapetrova6246 5 месяцев назад

What if I dont have my kindle device anymore? How can I do that?

@chaddaifouche536 4 месяца назад

You need a kindle device bound to your account to use this method, otherwise you won't be able to use the "Download and Transfer via USB" option. If your kindle device is still bound to your account (still appear on your "Devices" page) you're fine, even if you have no idea where the physical device is (hell, it could have been incinerated as garbage years ago for all Amazon cares). If this is not the case and you really want to convert your kindle library (remember that this is a one time procedure, at least as long as you maintain careful backups of your Calibre library), just buy the cheapest Kindle device you can find (reconditioned ones are fine), bind it to your account, record its serial number and throw it in a drawer.

@aidensface4131 4 месяца назад

This definitely works for getting them on my Kobo Libra, but I do have an issue I'm running into. To start, I don't actually have a kindle so I can't add a serial number to the plug in, yet seemingly it still gets transferred. The issue I have is when actually trying to read the files on my Kobo. Aside from the cover/first page, everything is zoomed in to only show the top left each page, with no option to zoom out, which makes reading manga, or pretty much anything impossible. Would having a kindle serial number fix that, or am I doing something else wrong?

Would love to support my local bookshop with ebook purchases!
